dcs puccini software upgrade


hi. i am a puccini owner and believe that "newer" is not always "better." for this reason i haven't installed the new software. forgive me if i have missed this in a prior thread but has anyone either: (1) had a chance to compare the puccini, pre- and post- software upgrade, if so how does it sound? Or (2) know where the details of the software upgrade are outlined? (couldn't find it on dcs website)

thank you and best wishes!

New in v1.21: The new software adds some useful new features to the Puccini Player.

The new features added since v1.12 are:

1. In addition to the 4 DSD filters, this release adds a choice of 3 DSP filters when playing CDs or receiving 44.1kS/s data. These are:
“Classic” (the same as the original filter),
“Long” (a symmetrical filter with improved anti-imaging performance) and
“Asymmetric” (an apodising filter with a similar frequency response to the “Long” filter but with no pre-ringing). When changing filters using the remote control, the MUTE button flips between setting the DSD filter (if available) and setting the DSP filter.
2. The performance in DSD mode has been improved.
3. Occasional problems with the Display-Off timeout have been corrected.
